200 blisted

[Xystic]

SE has been improving their filters as well.. I maybe get one or two a day at most, but the tells I'm getting now are getting more and more unreadable (and I rarely see shouts anymore).. They may not be able to prevent RMT spam completely but they can certainly make it very difficult for these guys to function at least.

I'm surprised you still have shouts on. I have turned that off completely.

RMT spam is part of the game unfortunately. WoW has been around 10+ years and still get gold seller and phishing tells. We can only hope SE makes a better way to report and a larger blist.

Every now and then you will still see the dead body advertisements from the RMTs in WoW. lol.

yeah i've had my suspicions that the earlier names i have on the blist were unactive tho i wasnt sure. up till now i thought they were still around if it didnt say ( Deleted) so im gonna go n delete a bunch to clear up space. tho its only a temporary means. i think u all have a few good ideas that actually sound possible here. im not trying to say "hey SE forget wat u were doin n implement this even if u gotta trash something else" no. tho i think there r somethings they could possible implement without effecting the rest of the game. your all doing great, who knows maybe they'll pick something up from this thread

Good god people... Clean out your black list... problem solved.

I actually have a page in my FFXIV spreadsheet dedicated to 'legitimate' blacklist entries.
I delete people off of my blacklist every once in a while and check if the name is on my 'legit' list. those people stay.
originally I did this because there's no way to set a note why I blacklisted someone, but now it comes in very handy since everyone not on the list is RMT spam



one thing why the (deleted) is also not a 100% accurate means is simply that a lot of the 'normal' names were actually characters from hacked accounts and people got them back.

Didn't 1.0 have China banned or something? Why not just do that.

For whoever said it's a pain to copy paste their names into submenus for blist.

Make a macro /blist add <r>

Delete the first 100 in your list, because those spammers probably already been banned.

I don't think blist was the issue. Blacklisting is easy. It's reporting (which is more valuable) that's the pain. I never report - playing on PS3 there's not even an easy copy+paste. I have to jot down the user name before navigating through all the menus.

I use the blist macro all day long - in fact the macro is on every one of my character classes. If reporting was as easy I'm fairly certain the problem would be dealt with.

Same reason I get US netflix in Canada. It takes all of 1 min of goggling to get past this issue.
